Redemption

Remember the day you witnessed the impossible: You once lived in chains, beaten by failure or sorrow, your feet sunk in mortar and mud. And then one day a strong hand gripped yours and pulled you free. You once lived in a prison-house, married to your master, afraid at every turn. And then one night a pillar of fire ignited within you, leading the way out. You once lived in another city, in another country, in a place without choices, until you chose to escape. You carried all you owned on your shoulders and ran for the water’s edge, and walls of water rose on your right and on your left. You once lay bound in a knot of grief, tied tight to a person who could never return, chained to a cloud. But one day you saw that the pillar of cloud had moved behind you, urging you forward. And you turned to face the wind. You were convinced it could never happen, that nothing could change, that your despair would overtake you and drive you into the sea. But one day, today, you held your breath and decided to leap forward. And then the waters parted, and your feet found dry land.
